Tobi, Carles
I have a new version of my photo software with possibilities to correct the bad photographic conditions, colors, so on... (and yes it is possible to change completely the appearance of a specimen such as color...:()
I have reworked the last specimen photo to be as close to the real specimen.
I hope it is better

hello Jordi, and Tobi
If it could help you, I bought it nearly 20 years ago in Paris show, and these specimens were everywhere in the different booths; That means that a large batch was released, at this time.
Thank you both for your help in ocurrence identification.

Going back to the previous Chrysocolla, I must admit that it looks like the specimen that Tobi had posted on the Arizona mineralogical trip from Ray Mine
